L.A. PARKER: Obama gives U.S. democracy a landslide victory

GOP political guru George Will predicted a landslide victory. So, too, did Republican pundit Dick Morris.

They both were incredibly right. President Barack Hussein Obama skewered an impressive Election Day win over GOP candidate Mitt Romney as Republican billionaire frontman Donald Trump delivered a berserk call for revolution.

Well, Donald, we all want to change the world.

Trump’s blog got progressively worse to the point that some of his printed words appeared slurred.

The Donald may have been the first person ever issued a breatholyzer test during operation of a keyboard.

Our country changes, wonderfully, remarkably. Perhaps all those teenaged daydreams envisioned years back have found fruition in what remains a fertile environment for opportunity.

People who thought they would never see a black U.S. president now witness a sequel.

As the world turns, America morphs toward a beautiful mosaic of people in chase of freedom. The U.S. Democratic Party delivered a stunnning backdrop in Chicago where President Obama delivered a stirring victory speech.

That’s the new America, black, brown, and white. Gay, lesbian and straight forward. We are the world, truly, still engaged in a country that way back promised life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We remain engaged in the process despite our Christmas creep movement toward unabridged freedom and justice for all. You know, those entitlements cultivated by these United States.

Now, take a look at the Boston crowd where Republican candidate Mitt Romney reluctantly conceded an Obama victory. That’s not America. Take away the color feeds and Romney’s crowd looks like a 1950s Norman Rockwell portrait, jam-packed with hurt and angry Caucasians. Happy Days pushed into a 2012 election conundrum.

You will find a “Where’s Waldo” African American in the loser’s ballroom but any suggestion is simply wrong that the Republican Party offers an accurate cutaway of America.

Nothing sounds more offensive or misguided than to hear Republicans proclaim that they intend to “take back their country.” One could understand such sentiment if these words originated from Native Americans but such proclamation should not be expressed by those whose ancestors stepped off a ship in a northeast harbor.

We are discovering a new America now as skin colors blur in a mixture of ethnic backgrounds. Racial purists rue such blends but life, love and sexual pursuits guarantee change, whether we “protect” our daughter from that foreigner, black kid, white mechanic, Jewish boy, etc.

Mr. Trump would be wise to engage and accept the process of democracy evolution.

Nothing changes if nothing changes. We have jettisoned toward a new world order as America remains a dream maker.

The Obama victory is no panacea, but consecutive terms as U.S. president should butt-kick a lot of beliefs regarding opportunity.

A window has opened for Republicans, as well, a chance to change a party that seems out of touch with mainstream America. We are a diverse nation that will continue a beautiful alteration but must remain close to ideals that are crucial to our survival as a nation.

President Obama is right with his assertion that everybody deserves an equal shot at success on a level playing field. His message continued that everybody must do their fair share.

For America to move forward, this country must eventually offer more hand ups than handouts. U.S. good will should not be offered for a lifetime while those who accept support at some point should be expected to contribute to this system.

Finally, while we live in a capitalist society, we must not be consumed by wealth.

An American obsession with money has moved us to a place where we care more about destroyed houses than lives ravaged by crime, poverty, drugs, unwanted pregnancies, etc.

We fill sports arenas, movie theaters, beaches, malls, etc. but then make outrageous criticisms about our poor finances. While it’s pathetic that 1 in 6 Americans go hungry, the fact that the other five never miss a meal says something about how we truly live.

The eyes of God remain on sparrows and U.S. presidents.

With the election over, it’s time that Americans, Republicans and Democrats, stand with President Obama. Cooperation and tolerance in Washington could move this nation toward unimagined triumphs.

I remain proud to be an American living in this time of unimaginable occurrences. What has happened could occur only in these United States.
